CSULB introduces Well-Rested Wednesdays

Well Rested Wednesdays are one of the many events included in the Beach Balance Program. Pictured here in 2015, fourth year kinesiology major Mabelle Theresa Denuna lounges in one of the available hammocks provided by the SWRC.

Students in need of a nap on hump day can head over to the Student Recreation and Wellness Center.

SRWC introduced Well-Rested Wednesdays this semester to help students get a quick break. If students are interested in using a hammock, they can simply go to the SRWC and lie down in the next available one.

“It’s a good opportunity for students to take a break and also revitalize,” Christopher Huebner, the outdoor adventures and wellness coordinator said. “Taking a nap [for] 20 to 30 minutes increases your focus.”

Students can cocoon themselves in one of five Eno single-nest hammocks every Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. at Beach Balance. The dimly lit, lavender infused room is optimized for power naps.

“It’s not very often that I get to lay on a hammock, it’s a very unique experience,” Jennifer Ratanapratum, a junior nutrition and dietetics major said. “I’m going to come back every week and do it, if I have time.”

If students continue to come out for Well-Rested Wednesdays, the program might carry over to next semester, Huebner said.

“I would recommend it to people that just need a place to get away, literally,” Mabelle Theresa Denuna, a senior kinesiology major said whilst recovering from an all-nighter.
